September 18 So, how does Charlotte sound?No, its not a baby name and its not an indicator of what I am having, so you guys can just hold onto your panties. Most of my friends know what I am saying when I say "How does Charlotte sound?" They already know because I've told them what's in the works. Charlotte, North Carolina is where I want to be... Southern living is the life for me... Actually, I love San Diego, and it is paradise, but its for rich people.. Not normal folk like us here. That being said, we're taking off to Charlotte next month. Its been a hard road getting there, but we will make it. We're not afraid of change and can roll with these punches pretty darn well. Now that the other stuff has been taken care of, we are okay and can get where we need to go. Our car is getting new brakes! Yay!!! I am going to get it professionally cleaned out too.. I want a full detail on that baby, she deserves it. Mr. Paddles is now 15 weeks. He is happy and kicking. My diabetes is completely under control. I dont mind advertising the name choices here, as they're not retarded names or anything, LOL. If Mr. Paddles is a boy, he will be Oliver David or Noah David. David is a definite choice, its after Kevin's best friend who passed away a few years ago. If its a girl, she will be Lorelei Olivia. I will keep my close friends updated for the Charlotte Situation and everything else. Lori, don't worry, it got worked out. August 22 Apologetic for no updatesThings have been hectic here lately. Between Dr's appointments, Foundation work, kids, getting ready for kids school, and all the other fun things that life throws at you, I have not been able to update much. Mr. Paddles is fine. In fact, I am 11 weeks, and I dont have to go see the Dr until September. I am ok with that! The kiods are doing well.. Jake turns 7 in 2 days, and its going to be a fun time! We will be holding his party on the weekend, and he gets to invite 3 to 5 friends. Kieran will be starting Kindergarten on the 24th. My baby is no longer a baby.  No more late morning snuggles, and naps in the afternoons. I wont have my favorite cuddle buddy to sit with and read to anymore. I am going to miss my Pudge. I don't know if he will miss me though! I am a demanding Momma!Kevin has been working his butt off at work, and interviewing like crazy for new jobs. He's worth much more than he makes at Qualcomm right now, but he took the job as we needed income STAT. Its been good to us in the interim, but he's worth a lot more out here. He has an earning power of $50K to $60K if he uses his degree, which I am hoping he will do, as it makes him a happier Kevie. My Etsy store is picking up in sales. I sold all my PIF's but then all of a sudden I was selling more things. It seems people like my yarn colors. Yay!! In any case, I am liking the extra money! The Foundation has been ramping up for school beginning.. Its been a lot of work, and I am exhausted! Thats pretty much it around here. August 08 Fun in the San Diego SunThat's right.. Its warm and such in San Diego again. Though not nearly as warm as Yucca Valley. We went there this weekend, and I pruned my MIL's Rose bushes, while Kevin cleaned up the front patio and weed whacked around some more bushed. FIL wants some Cats Claw bushes removed, but that will have to wait until its cool enough for Kevin to wear his leathers and get out there and clear them out without getting cut to death. We got the latest news about my SIL and her deadbeat crack addicted husband. Apparently they have cut everyone off unless they want something from them. Typical abusive behavior. My MIL said that SIL looks at husband with love, but husband looks at her with disgust and acts glib and such when they are around other people. People like my BIL are sociopaths. They use people, discard them, treat them like crap and just generally have no social skills. On the outside they can appear nice, but looks can be deceiving. On the inside, they are just generally nasty people who don't care who they hurt just as long as it makes them feel better about themselves. This morning I've cleaned my kitchen.. I mean, I've given it a complete scrubdown. Kevin goes general maintenance, but I can't expect him to do it all correctly. Damn male. He does the maintenance because I just can't handle icky food particles right now. The only thing I have left to do is apply the shine sealant to the floors. Yay! I am also doing laundry at the same time. Though I hate our laundry machines. I am used to having the extra large capacity stuff from our own home in Albuquerque. Now, I have the stackables. Ugh. More loads, more wasted water. I must say that Kevin is being adorable though. He works all day, and messages me every now and then with an "I love you Blue Girl." and he comes home and snuggles with us. We all pile into my bed or onto the couch and just spend time with each other. Jake reads to us every night, and Kieran has me sing to him before he goes to bed. How sweet is that? I hope this peanut is a good kid like these two. Now, my kids aren't perfect, but they're good kids. I deal with Jake's issues and he deals with me. He's grown out of most of them though. A lot of them have to do with people getting too close to his space or too much noise going on around him. Blind kids can be picky like that. My ex and his twin have similar issues regarding noise levels and personal space, as does my best friend. At least he's good looking, LOL! He has that going for him. Kieran is so much like Kevin, I never have to worry about him. Yes, he's a sissy and I kinda like him like that, because he's got to learn to stick up for himself on his own. I will never encourage my kids to hit and be mean. That's encouraging bullying and that's a no-no. I am a strict disciplinarian, and my kids know that I am their God. I gave them life, and I will take it away as I see fit. I'm not mean, but they know there's a line they should never cross with me. This little bean is doing well. I am certainly feeling round ligament pains. The injections are a PITA, but that's only because I feel like a pincushion. I am very tired lately, which is new for me. I haven't felt this tired since 2004. In 2004, I bled for 27 days straight, and I was not pregnant. It wasnt my thyroid, and it wasn't hormonal in the normal sense of the word. I was diganosed with Endometriosis and I was a Type II diabetic, formally diagnosed. I had surgery to remove the Endo, and I ended up with a bad infection and it wiped me out for weeks. Thank goodness my Endocrinologist (Diabetes Dr. for those who aren't educated) helped me through it all. I lost a total of 71 lbs from Jan 04 to July of 04, and I have remained at a steady weight since then. Nowdays, I am not allowed to again any weight for this pregnancy, and I am doing pretty well. They are monitoring me for pre-eclampsia and pubic symphasis problems and I should be fine. Yay! Other than that, life's a freaking peach! August 01 Its been a hard day's night..In any case, I know I don't update like I should. Between the Foundation, my Etsy store, and prenatal appointments, I feel booked enough, LOL. Its not like anyone is anxious for me to update or anything, LOL. Everyone who reads this blog, I actually talk to in real life. I've been dying yarn recently, and added some up for sale. You can go to my store http://socaligirl.etsy.com to purchase. I've also been working on 5 alchemy requests. Yep, that's right, I didn't stutter, five. 2 dresses, a cardigan and hat set, a baby blanket and some baby booties and hat. I've been lucky in that some of my friends from High School still are the absolute treasures I remember them to be. 10 years later and we are all still friends, even if we are distant ones. How cool is that? I've also been best friends with Lisa for 11 years, and Sara and I have been great friends since Orientation at UNM in 1997.. Wow.. Time flies... My gypsy blood is calling me again... I feel the need to move somewhere new. I dont know why this happens, but I love moving. Its not good for the kids, but I can't really help it. I inherited this aspect of my personality from my mom, and as much as I hate her, I have to thank her for this, because otherwise I would be a closed, sheltered, and otherwise inexperienced person. I've lived the school of hard knocks.. Not fun.. I've been homeless in Portland, also not fun, LOL. But I have seen the world!! England, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada.. I plan to see much much more.. I want to see Alaska, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, North Carolina, Illinois, New York, Mass, Maine, New Hampshire, Canada, and I want to see Belize, LOL. You know what I miss most? I miss summers in Crested Butte, Colorado.. Its this little town where rich families spend their vacation time. I miss waking up to go ballooning at 5am, and working until my muscles ached. I miss walking around the entire town, admiring the shops, enjoying the weather and eating the excellent food. I miss the Chocolate Croissants, where this one bakery made these perfect croissants with a chocolate bar baked inside. I miss going up Slate Creek and fishing a 5 mile stretch, with waters so clear you could see the trout coming to take your lure on a beaver dam. Holes so perfect, you could guarantee a cast and catch.. Of course, I am a sports fisherman, so I let them go, but the feeling of catching a fish in running water up to your knees is amazing!! It puts lake fishing to shame. So, the dog days of summer having me wax poetic about my summers past. Someday, we will get to that again, someday... On the more postive news (love the horrible lead in??), Mr. Paddles is 8 weeks and 4 days today, and I got to see him moving around on an ultrasound yesterday! Yay!! My sugars are wonderfully controlled, and I have graduated to seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks now. LOL. So, that's pretty much all. I have both boys home with me for the next month, so my time is slim... July 17 Houston, we have a heartbeat*sniffles* Mr. Paddles has a heartbeat! I saw the little lima bean shaped person inside my belly today, with a fluttering heartbeat! I am sooo happy! The boys even saw the heartbeat, and were asking my doctor a ton of questions. Speaking of which, I totally forgot to ask her my new EDD. Damnit, I knew I was forgetting something. They bitched at me because of my sugars which in all honesty, are doing really well, considering that 2 months ago I was completely uncontrolled. Now, I am high for fasting and most of early morning sugars, and normal for my night time ones. They are also worried about my blood pressure. I am borderline hypertensive, and rightly so, after all of the crap that has gone on in the last month. She says I have 2-3 weeks to bring it down or I go on another round of meds. I am hoping that next week will show my pressure in a better light. So this means for me, no more power walking.. I can swim, and do light weight slow walking.. I hate that.. When I walk, I want to walk the mile in 15 minutes. Damnit all to hell, LOL. Well, at least I am not gaining any weight, and Dryers Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream made with Splenda is my friend.. Its sugar free, low carbs, has dietary fiber to knock down carbs even more, and tastes wonderful! The mint helps soothe my late night nausea. I finished another project this weekend. Its a baby blanket called "Sweet Spots", and it is available at my store http://socaligirl.etsy.com. I have found that I have made a lot of friends on Etsy, which is nice. One of them is able to check in on my dad every so often! Woo Hoo! My best friend is missing our late night fun times during the summer. You see, we used to hang out all night long at her house and at IHOP just messing around and talking gossip. We also used to dress up her cousin and watch guys drool. I mean, this girl is gorgeous, but fellas, she's taken. I remember when I tried to give her to my nephew Jimmy.. LOL! That was hilarious! Kevin has been an absolute angel lately. He helps with absolutely everything. I am so tired lately, I can't do it all, especially the squicky stuff. He's too cute for words. So are the kidlets, I have no complaints there. Well, I am off to enjoy the rest of my evening with friends, family and two adorable little boys. July 11 Bug-a-boo BluesNo, I'm not depressed. Well, I was, but Jess and Lori cheered me up, and then the boys cheered me up, and then Kevin made me a very happy lady, LOL. (Get your mind out of the gutter!! No, not that.. He negotiated our lease and we get to move to the 1st floor!) Ta-Daaaaaa! Not to mention, I get back from picking up Jake from the bus stop, and I have a sale! Someone bought my Marionberry Short Sleeved Cardigan. I am sooo happy!! I've been so tired lately, but part of that is being pregnant, and the other is getting a handle on my sugars. I've been doing really well for the most part. Hammering out my diet is the problem. 1000 calories ain't gonna cut it. I like food, and I am craving my greasy New Mexican food right now. I want my Pile-Ups, my breakfast burritos, my green chile chicken enchiladas, my green chile stew, my carne asada, pork tamales with red chile, my Navajo tacos.. You get the drift.. Luckily, we found out that the Super Wal Mart in Hemet carries my green chile! We've decided to stock up once a month on it, and feast our little hearts out, LOL! My first prenatal appointment was yesterday, and I really like my Dr. She's sweet and really nice. Great bedside manor, and talks to me like a human. She realizes that I am pretty educated about my health and pregnancy in general, she just has to hold my hand through the miscarriage scares and the pre-term labor worries. We did an Ultrasound, and saw only a sac, but she didn't seem worried. She said it looked very healthy and stuff, but she wants me back next week for another U/S and to keep a close eye on my sugars. I can only hope that next week we will see a little Mr. Paddles in there. Yes, I've named my fetus Mr.Paddles. LOL I actually cleaned today! Yay!! I mean, I've been doing basics, but I cleaned the kitchen, which is a squick factor for me right now, and don't mind the bottle of pee next to the juice in my fridge, I am required to collect a 24 hour sample, and they want me to refrigerate my urine. Oh yay! That's all for now! July 07 Ta-Daa!!!Introducing the Marionberry Pie Short Sleeved Cardigan!! My friend Jess in Texas thinks its my niche to make kids clothes, LOL! She's prolly right, as she's very in tune with how other's are. I finally got this thing finished, and you can buy it at my Etsy store, LOL! Night y'all! I'm Kevie's Blue Girl... and I am sweet and sour like a Sweet Tart!
